It is my pleasure to present the table of contents for North Dakota Quarterly 91.3/4!

This issue will be heavily slanted toward prose with 10 short stories, 7 essays, a photo essay, and a small handful of poems including the reprint of a pair of coyote poems by North Dakota poet Clell Gannon.

This issue owes a huge debt to my editorial associate Maren Shettler who took the lead in organizing this collection and dealing with the challenges that invariably arise with every issue. She kindly cowrote the “Editors’ Note” with me and enlivened the work on this issue (and the last one!) with her enthusiasm and patience.
